I Almost Make the Worst Deal Ever
I took a taxi back to my mom's house.
"Hi sweetie, how was your day?" asked my mother, Savannah.
"Good," I lied. "Can I go for a walk on the beach?" I was hoping if I went I could get my mind off all Justina's snide words.
"Okay, be back at 7:30," My mom replied. I went straight out the door and to the beach the minute she finished her sentence. And then I almost made the worst deal ever.
I was walking on the Miami beach, with all it's white sand and fabulous pink seashells, trying to clear my mind of insults. After walking for awhile I started to hear a very faint song being sung farther along the beach. As I walked closer and closer the song became clearer. It was promising me everything I most wanted, the very things I couldn't resist. The things I needed to know. Their half of the awesome deal was me being able to meet my father, being popular and fitting in, having the scary creatures I nicknamed "insanity" go away, and understanding what they are and why I see them. I then found myself not knowing that I was deep into the water, swimming towards the singing with everything I had to make the deal. The creatures that were trying to get me to agree to their deals came into view a moment after I realized what was happening. I was about to swim all the way to them, making the deal for all the things I most wanted for myself, when I saw the figure of a young boy in the dark moving closer to me. I continued to swim closer and ignore the person, but regretted it, feeling a quick grab on my right ankle
"Don't do it!" The voice said.
"I have to!" I yelled back.
"They're trying to trick you, you'll never get what they are promising!"
I kept on swimming kicking and trying to get away from the boy, not trusting what he said, thinking he could be bad, a liar. No matter how much I kicked and hurt the boy he just wouldn't let go. After I struggled for a very, very long time I finally gave up and let him take me away to where ever.
"Fine, I give up! What do you want me to do now?" I said, so angry that now, I was crying.
"Come with me were, you will be safe." The strange boy replied.
"Safe! You really believe I'm that stupid that I would think that where ever you would take me I would be safe?" I said, crying, thinking about how much I wanted to understand.
"I swear that where I am going to take you, you'll be safe." Said the boy, acting kind of sorry. Then I swam after him onto the shore and followed him to the weirdest and coolest place in the world. It was the stupidest yet best mistake I ever made.
